His books have been translated into many South Indian languages. Recently he has been awarded an honorary doctorate for his contribution in literature.

Following the panel discussion Dr Jeyamohan answered the questions from the audience. He dealt with problems in translations, and selling English books in Tamil Nadu. He felt that the South Indian authors are not given due importance in the western world. Their works are seldom translated. To redress such grievances, he is planning to bring together all the famous writers from South India.  He said that two big conferences are planned for 2026 and 2027. First such conference of South Indian writers will be held in America  next year and another conference in London in 2027. He also said translations of South Indian fiction will be done with the consultation of English writers to make it more appealing to the westerners. Already annual Vishnupuram meetings invite authors from Kannada, Telugu and Malayalam languages.

Prabhu welcomed the participants and Giridharan proposed a vote of thanks.

Towards the end of the meeting, the author was adorned with more shawls on behalf of many South Indian and Sri Lankan organisations based in London.
